Cool, are you spraying it in base/clear or singlestage? If you need any advice I am an automotive painter, I also run a paint forum here: Refinish Network | Refinish Network | Paint, Page, the guys there are always happy to help out. Looking good!

thats what i was wondering. you are outside, what if somebody runs by and kicks the dirt...which causes little dust particles to fly and attatch to the fresh paint?
btw i heard people ground the car...to prevent dust attraction, are you doing that?
